3D printing progress

I have now printed several instrument fronts, but the most complex has been the reflector gunsight. Still needs final clean up of edges, and the brackets and perspex HU display, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. Learning lots on virtually every job.
I found the minimum capabilities of the machine when making a 1/16 scale wood stove for Mrs. Airspeed. Working hinges were a challenge at that size!
